yeah it was, but I saw something on Twitter about it being rock. I had no time to check, and now I've lost the tweet. I don't believe it, I'm just wondering what are they saying

Poptingz twitter account, claiming to have an insider i think.

All of the act 2 rumours sound like the same album. Country, Rock, Accoustic. Beyonce is never going to have 12 songs of exactly the same genre on an album. Ren is House/Electronic/Disco/Pop/RnB/HipHop

Baseless rumors that were started because she wore a cowboy hat.

Exactly. It's going to be a multi genre album.

Renaissance was still rooted in the dance genre tho

So whatever is next will obviously be rooted in something new for her rock/country in this case

they put crack in this song (or the BeyHydration is hitting me..)

 

also she's literally serving vocals on this idk what the **** y'all yapping on about

Cowboy is country though. 

 

It was rumored to be country and acoustic. And people wished there was also a bit rock, it spread from there, I think.

Thanks  

 

 

act ii is most definitely gonna be a multi genre album and I'm still hopeful its named Rodeo

She's still gonna be credited on Billboard because of the single version and the numbers for both versions will be combined? 

I completely dropped Travis after the incident and I hate that I love that stupid song ixbhwxhhwhshwh 

 

Astro was my fave album the year it dropped. 
 

his first two albums are some of my faves albums of all time n I hate myself n I hate Beyoncé n I hate e gh I’m having a meltdown

Rock rumors came because - Act iii was being called rock:

 

- many presumed three acts meant three albums and act ii was rumored heavily to have country influences. (while we were only teased B7, B8 by bey - and even tidal tweeted it out). Plus they said abundance of music. 

 

- so people said Beyoncé is doing this to "reclaim" black genres - house, country and then rock. 

 

We actually have very little to legitimize the "rock" stuff. 

I think “Echoes” is serving double duty as an album track on UTOPIA, while also serving as the official “soundtrack/original song” to her film, ECHOVILLE.

 

We’ve been doing this for a long time, and for Beyoncé to post a feature with its own artwork depicting the imaginary newspaper from the imaginary town she created in her visuals 1 day before the year anniversary of her album?  After recently trademarking 8 registrations for ECHOVILLE?  
 

It all just feels too on the nose.  I’m imagining she talked to Travis and let him know what she had planned July 29, as to not step on his toes.  This way, “Echoes” is now attached to the current #1 album, while also being the title track of her film.  
 

I could be wrong, but this time, I don’t think so.  The trailer or full film is definitely coming tomorrow.  It’s going down at MetLife.

I'd give up a kidney to have this be true.

It will be combined on Spotify, but not on Billboard unless a chunk of the units come from Single version with her credit, which is already not happening lol

Echoville is definitely a thing. No way all those references & a trademark filing are just there to tie into a Travis song and no way she's being listed as a lead if its not related to her own musical universe. 

I'm not normally theory hive but the Echoville thing is no longer a theory. It ties into whatever is next, whether that be a film or act 2

Tomorrow is definitely the day where something is most likely to go down but we also might have gotten this song as the 1 year anniversary gift

Honestly I gave up on being delusional about tomorrow's show but that Echoes cover art alone is enough to make me excited again  the Echoville film + Act II announcement at the end is upon us

It will count with her name on Billboard.

The cover is featured in the tour. She is reading that newspaper and the headline says "AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM" there are also tons of other renaissance easter eggs on the cover like an article for a "Glitter Kitty Contest" and a "Unique or UFO?" headline.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

 

she is credited on the single version. in fact, she is the lead artist. and the copyright says Parkwood before Cactus Jack (travis' imprint). She only isn't credited on his album, but none of the features are. so she had this released separately from the rest of the album for a reason.

 

Noticed this too. 
 

What's most confusing is that it's the album version being pushed on playlists. 

Maybe she really is going with this as some kind of dual single that benefits both projects :-S

 

I could see how Sony (to whom both Bey and Travis are signed) would be incentivized to push this.
